1. Who were they going to get to write it? K&R

Excellent explanation on how the new lobbying rules mean NOTHING.

BTW, I wonder, if all lobbying was banned, would they just give them some other BS job at their company with an inexplicable multimillion dollar salary? Eric Cantor quits and becomes a janitor at CIGNA earning $30 million a year?

2. Okay, Cenk says Barney Frank

was angered that the guy wrote legislation on the credit default swaps. Cenk doesn't say if Barney Frank and the committee corrected the legislation. Did they correct it?

These derivatives are what turned a bubble into the world's largest bubble and greatest loss in history. I want proof these things are being corrected by my Democratic legislators. I will hunt them down like the dogs they are if they betray us on this. Well, I certainly to fuck won't send Barney Frank another dime if he doesn't insure the legislation is properly done.

This legislation should be very strict with huge teeth and strong penalties.
